Circumscribing one self as "I"
enclosing within a circle
however big that may be,
one dreams within his creation
when this centre disappears instantly
the 'I' has no bounds,
awakens to reality
of falseness of boundaries
Author notes
"When we look with the 'I'
We dream.
When we look for the 'I'
We awaken."

very good indeed
Everyone who thinks about it finds that the centre of the universe is everywhere and the circumference nowhere. I like your extension of this idea to the falseness of boundaries.
Congratulations for your bronze.

karen has already offered a very insightful response to your poem, I couldn't have expressed it in a better way ... your words show an in-depth understanding of the suggested quote, not intellectually, but intuitively - and hopefully as a living experience ...
you are right, analyzing the dream won't help - the dream must disappear together with the dreamer ...
well done !

Excellent anology!
The "I", or the ego, being the center of our ego-oriented universe and limited to the I/ego's false perceptions. When we let go of that false "I" or ego, illusion disappears and we are enlightened. Very good write!
